Now that Her Majesty’s body has left Scotland you can feel the heat rising. Respect has given way to an eerie feeling of uneasiness and frustration about the discussion that has to take place. Not only are these feelings being felt in Scotland but also in NI and Wales. I suspect that there are also Republicans in England as well .

Will the boil burst before Her Majesty’s funeral, I don’t know.

Listening to the BBC you would think that the Union of Crowns and the Union of Parliaments are the same thing, they are not, they are two distinctly different things. You can be a Monarchist but support Political separation. Scotland needs to have two conversations but should they both run alongside each other?

Scotland seems to have been talking for a long time, in fact, I sometimes think that’s all we do!

Why are we all talking so much about a Referendum that’s not a Referendum, it’s a gesture meant to to make Westminster sit up and listen. Has Nicola not learned yet that ‘there is none so deaf as those who will not hear’ Liz Truss has already indicated she won’t take any notice.

So why are we not going for a Holyrood Plebiscite Election, then if ignored straight to the Hague? Surely the SNP know by now this is where it has to end, such is Westminsters dependence on Scotland.

We don’t need to wait for the cat fight between Nicola and Liz Truss, we have the powers use them. Action is needed not more talk.

One thing is sure as we witness some of the King’s traits, he does not take after his mother!

Hate the Monarchy if you wish, I am quite ambivalent about the whole thing. One thing that will surprise many is that before Her Majesty’s committal in St Georges Chapel in Windsor all of her Titles will be removed and she will journey on as a Commoner!

There are no earthly Kings or Queens in Heaven! We are all equal before God.
